Catching Bats at Midnight.

A reporter browsing about be-
tween midnight and l o'clock the
other morning, saw man stand
ing near one Of the electric light
posts on Washington street wav-
ing a long horsewhip back and
forth high above his head. He had
@ fishhoOk on The end Of the whip,
to which was attached moth mil
Ter, and ne explained that with
this bait he captured the bats that
were foraging among the insects
around the electric light. He said
he got half doller apiece for them
and that he had already caught
seven that night. he sold them to
the taxidermists, and said that he
could get more for them in Boston.
He spoke of hiring a man to help
him, as he could catch enough then
to pay him for shipping them to
Boston. He caught two while the
reporter remained to watch the
operation, and he picked them of
the hook and put them in bag
that he carried slung across his
shoulder. Providence Journal.

The reason why we do this Is :

The reason why we do this is:
1st Because we want to introduce it to
every person having either gray or faded hair
and desiring to restore it to its original color,
and to every one whose hair, from any cause,
may be falling ont, aud to those troubled with
dandruff or scurf, or any unhealthy condition
of the scalp.
End Because we have tried this plan most
successfully at home in Washington city,
where we have given away free over our coun-
tiers thousands Of trial bottles, and have estab
lished a sale unparalleled in the annals of
proprietary articles
3rd. Because we cannot conceive any meth
cd more aptto convince those who may chance
to read this that we have an article of more
than ordinary merit, that will do all we claim
for it, since we are willing you should try it
before you buy it. Now what we claim is
simply this, that it will restore the natural
color to gray or faded hair in three to ten
days, and never fail; that it will stop the hair
from falling out and give the roots new life
and vitality in from one to three months; that
it will totally clean the scalp of all dandruF
and scurf, leaving the head in healthy condi-
ton; that it viii restore gray whiskers as well
as the hair on the head.
Our main claim, and thatin which Nattans'
Crystal Discovery differs essentially from any
other Hair restorer in the market, is its entire
freedom from all poisonous ingredients what
ever. No lead, no sulphur, no silver, no
stains, no sediment, and consequently no
shaking up to do. All we ask is q trial,

o Ocean gray, wander on thy shore,
And sit me down upon thy beach of sand;
/ see thee roll and toss, hear thee roar,
Thou sentinel of ages, 'gainst the land
When first the world was out Of chaos called,
Thy life began, and It Will never end
Until tho universe be disenthrallcd
From Natures bonds, and dark destruction rcnd
The earth asunder; all in earth hath changed,
By Natures dread commissions madly torn
Aud all hath been arranged and rearranged,
Save thee. who hast remained as when hrst born;
And though shall countless ages roll away,
And lose themselves in dark oblivion's haze,
Nothing can conquer thee. o Ocean gray
Save Him, who can all things created rae.

There was news of u. umph and glory to bla-

Then some one came In at the door, while the
cheers rose again in tire street,
With a message of death In his face, and fell
like stone at his feet.
There's peace in the wide azure heavens, and
calm in the soft, golden air,
But the quiet response of my spirit is only the
calm Of despair.
In fancy / see his face beaming as it beamed

His childish wide blue eyes uplifted in eager,

And answer as stranded souls answer the bells

Keen 1t In Always.

The observance Of Decoration Day." set
apart for strewing flowers on the graves of
those who gave up their lives on the bat
tle-felds of the rebellion, is now partici-
pated in practically by the whole Ameri-
can people. Not only are the graves of
the Old soldiers upon both sides of the san
culinary struggle decked with floral trib-
utes by the hands of relatives and friends
on each returning anniversary of the day,
but the beautiful custom has been
adopted by common consent as a fitting
time for all to demonstrate their remem-
brance of the dead by these touching me-
MORALS. Year by year since the close of
the war has the day been more and more
fully observed, until it has, to all intents
and purposes, become as much of legal
holiday as any set apart by law, and it is
not probable that the time will ever come,
even should incarceration take the place of
burial, when the custom will be abolished.
